Ripped Off
A friend who worked in a second hand record shop told us about a Japanese guy who regularly bought "rare" records in their shop. One time, he was looking for a signed copy of "Never Mind the Bollocks".
They didn't have one. Four people and one magic marker later, they did. Ker-ching!
How have you been ripped off? Who did you rip off? Are you a British Gas customer?

My flatmate and I....
...got landed with an unbelievably large estimate for our electricity bill just before Christmas (we're talking £850 for a 2 bedroom flat) so we decided instead of contesting or trying to resolve the issue and be forced to pay we would simply change the name on the bill (we were due to move out on Dec 22nd).
Cue one phonecall to nPower, my flatmate getting the name changed from his to the landlord's (I offered my best impersonation service and pretended to be the landlord "accepting" the name change).
We left no forwarding address or contact information, and put the bill for the new flat under my name (nPower have never heard of me) so we cant be traced.
I believe we well and truly ripped off our twat of an ex-landlord!
length? your mum had no complaints last night.
